//------------------------------// // Chapter two // Story: The Rescue of Princess Twilight Sparkle(redone) // by Jeffrey1225 //------------------------------// Luna arrived in the main chamber. Being an alicorn she had unimaginable perception, the fact she was the best tactician didn't hurt either. She had five seconds to see everything, and she did. Twice. But she didn't just see them, she processed the situation and processed 5 possible outcomes before the guard next to her could breathe. Luna's mind raced. Celestia if you can hear me I'm in the belly of the beast. I'm seeing 17 unicorns facing me, if we believe that each side had an equivalent amount of unicorns we can see that there are 68 unicorns. I believe that they are of equal power of those we met in combat. Not including officers, personal bodyguards and the leaders... She looked past the walls of unicorns and saw the "stadium" where the leader sat. He alone had 15 personal bodyguards. He was on a podium in the very center. Twilight was in a cage, bound gagged, and relieved of magic. The cage was sitting next to another one of similar size, with a few smaller ones behind it. This was mirrored on the other side. The room was a dark color with few lights around, except in the center, where a massive fire burned underneath the leader. The room smelled stale, and musky. The expected smell of smoke wasn't there, it seemed that there was rune that converted smoke into more oxygen to burn. Clever. She was brought onto the steps of the stadium and was sat down. The seat was small, not designed to accompany an alicorn. The stone was cold, and sent a shudder up her spine. Lieutenant Crimson Rose spoke up "Your Freeing One. We succeeded in capturing Princess Luna. She announced a Harvey and stated the terms of her immediate, peaceful capture to allow those with her to escape. She also was granted three questions." "Excellent Rose. You are dismissed for the day." 'The Freeing One' rose from his chair and walked down to Luna, looking her in her eyes. "Well then," his words were itchy to the ear, being near him was horrifying, and he emitted an aura of evil. "What do you wish to ask of me, Princess Luna?" He returned to his throne and sat down. Crimson walked to his commander and gave him the button, explaining what it does. "Oh, does it now? Thank you Crimson, this information will be most... useful. You may go." Crimson left through a door in the back of the room. 'The Freeing One' rose again and walked down, facing Luna in the eye again. "I hear that you gave Mr. Rose this button in case we speculated you would use magic. It's funny, you trusted him. I promise you," He leaned into Luna's ear, brushing it slightly with his muzzle. "You can't trust me." His voice was barely a whisper, an itchy, cold whisper, that shook Luna to the bone. Luna thought about what he said for a moment. 'The Freeing One' reared his head back and cackled. He pressed the button to shock Luna. "No! Don't dddooOOOOOOOOO AHHH!!" The electricity running through her body could be seen by anyone in Equestria. The radiation itself could marvel that of Celestia's mother. The energy was so powerful it defied all laws of physics known to pony kind. It could have powered all of Equestria for a length of uncountable time. Luna's entire body shook furiously. The electricity used Luna's horn as an escape route. The energy was too concentrated to explode, everything it touched into plasma. The air, the roof of the cave, the building above, and the clouds. Ponies once thought space to be nothing, but it to was also turned to white hot plasma. Upon leaving the atmosphere the electricity traveled many times the speed of light, into the dimension of 'Double Rainboom.' It turned into a Red-Matter Black Hole. It destroyed the dimension in an instant, then exploded. The resulting explosion ripped a hole in time and space, and the fourth wall, allowing for this joke. Oh, and Luna was unconscious. 'The Freeing One' put an inhibitor ring on Luna, and chucked her still twitching body into the cage next to Twilight sparkle. The energy from the previous blast caught up with time and rendered everypony in the cave unconscious.
